Odd Hours
by Dean Koontz
I can remember reading my first Dean Kootz book years ago. It was Servants of the Twilight. It was just scary and creepy enough to keep me reading, and on the edge of my seat. It made me a fan. I think so much more can be done with the Odd series. This book in particular just... Well every nemesis Odd has encountered (besides the gunman who killed the love of his life) is going to be oddly giant sized. That makes for a scary villain but a little unrealistic. He as friends all over. Which is fine but why do they all have to be SO different (scarred from a childhood attack, morbidly obese etc)? I wasn't really feeling Elvis as his ghostly partner. I definitely wasn't feeling Frank Sinatra as the spirit who is now lingering and keeping him company. Anyways, I won't say the plot is implausible. Maybe it's not. I will say that I agreed with another reader who found the mysterious Annemarie not enigmatic but, annoying. Dean Koontz could use Odd's psychic ability to scare readers like he used to. Maybe that's not the road he wants to take. But, it would be a lot more like his earlier books.
